Good morning, it's the start of a new week, it's set to be sunny, and we're keeping our fingers crossed for smooth journeys across the district. There's a list of road closures and temporary lights below (including some new ones), so that you can plan ahead.

Give me a call on 01423 276197 or get in touch on social media if you spot anything on the roads or are waiting for a delayed bus or train.

The morning blogs are brought to you by The HACS Group.
